Melanie Frances, a 7-year-old mare trained, owned and bred by Francis DeRosa, rushed from behind to win the closing-day feature, the $30,125 Dahlia Stakes, by a nose. She was ridden by Juvenal Diaz and was timed in 1:40.

Solo Skater, another stretch-runner, was second in the 1-mile grass race for fillies and mares, while early leader Barkerville Belle finished third in the eight-horse race, a head behind Solo Skater and a head in front of Trenato.

Melanie Frances earned $18,075 to boost her career total to $324,174. She paid $15, $5 and $3.

The entry of Solo Sketer and Trenato returned $2.80 and $2.20. Barkerville Belle paid $3.80.
